I made up this upper body workout when I had to rest my right wrist in May. I always had weak wrists – especially since I broke my right wrist as a teenager while snowboarding – but when I came home from my travel and began working again as a typewriter I had a very ugly “typewriters cramp” and had to treat my right wrist with care for about two months. It was a challenge to still strengthen my upper body without straining my wrist, but it was possible, I just had to be creative with the exercises.

Here is an upper body workout with exercises which do not strain the wrists because they are performed on the elbows and because you do not have to bend your wrists for them:

What’s better than a sweaty and intense legs and glutes workout?! Not much in my opinion. I train legs & glutes 2-3 times a week and incorporate lower & full body plyometric exercises in my daily workouts. For this workout you don’t need any machines and you can do them even at home with something to step on and with a pair of dumbbells.
